Pre-Vocab Words List: The words to discuss with the class before the lesson are: suffrage, protest, law, and vote. The four-corner vocab sheet for these words is attached. SIOP Techniques:
• Partner groups: for interaction among the students. • Four corner vocab: for learning vocabulary
Culturally Responsive Teaching Explained: This activity is integrated with language arts and fosters creative writing as well as thinking. The students have to choose a woman to research and then use critical thinking to decide what is best to put in the research. It is centered on interpersonal and intrapersonal skills so that the students are able to work by themselves and then communicate with a group about what they learned and researched.

Culturally Responsive Teaching Explained: The homework given integrates community and relationships into the activity. By having students ask someone they know from the generation of women suffrage relates to the community by giving background on what life used to be like. They are building relationship with the people from that generation to gain knowledge for this particular subject. This

Procedures:

The activities within this booklet were prepared by education majors at Franklin College.
2. I will first let the children get into groups of two or three (group numbers will be dependent on class size). Once there are eight groups, I will hand out a timeline piece to each group. Before they start, they will need to get out their notebook, scissors, a pencil, and glue for an activity later on.
3. As a group and a class, they will have to decide which pieces go first, middle, and last up on the board. There will be tape for the groups to decide where they want to put each piece. They will be allowed to change their placement after they put it up on the board.
4. After about 15 minutes, the students will return to their seats. On their desk will be the exact copy of each timeline piece we put up on the board. I will ask them to cut these out one by one as we talk about the correct answers.
5. With their notebook out, I will tell the class if their first timeline piece was correct. If it is, they will cut it out, glue it to their notebook, and we will talk about it. If it is wrong, I will have a person from that group come up and re-tape the correct piece below the timeline on the board. Then they will cut and glue and discuss.
6. After each timeline piece is glued into their notebook, students will write down any additional information that is discussed in class underneath. I will also be writing additional information up on the board under each piece.
7. We will continue this process until the timeline is correct on the board and in their notebook.
Closure: 1. As a class, we will talk about what schools are like now in 2015.
a. Are schools still segregated? b. Why do you think schools aren’t segregated anymore? c. What type of races do we learn with? d. Do you think is it like this everywhere in America?
Pre-Vocab Words List: -- See four corner worksheet
1. Segregation—the practice or policy of keeping people of different races, religions, etc., separate from each other
2. Timeline—a plan that shows the order of events that will happen, things that will be done, etc.

I have bad news for you, for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the
world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight. Martin Luther King
dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that
effort. 1
In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind
of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black--
considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible--
you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. 2
We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization--black people amongst black,
white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as
Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain
of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and
love. 3
For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the
injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the
same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. 4
But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to
go beyond these rather difficult times. My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep,
pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our
will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." 5
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not
hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom,
and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within
our country, whether they be white or they be black. 6
So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King,
that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love--a
prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke. 7
We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we've had difficult times in the
past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of
lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder. 8
But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want
to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings
who abide in our land. 9
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of
man and make gentle the life of this world.Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for
our country and for our people. 10
